I’m not quite sure when the original is from, but I’d guess about 1915-1918.

"Down to Gehenna or up to the Throne, he travels the fastest who travels alone."

For context, I just find it funny how history books like to cover up how the US was a direct inspiration for the gas chambers used during the holocaust. The El Paso de-lousing chambers were racially motivated. The use of Zyklon B inspired German scientist Gerhard Peters to push for the chemical to be used to disinfect nazi concrntration camps.. He included photos of the El Paso de-lousing chambers as examples for how effective Zyklon B could be.
Obviously I cannot compare the atrocities of the holocaust to other historical incidents, but it's difficult to ignore how the US' own prejudice was an active inspiration for the gas chambers that would later kill millions.

where are my fellow millennial WWI nerds
Listen. I have been researching and annotating for my book about wartime autograph books for 6 years since college. I have given up hope of finding anyone under 50 to talk about it with, let alone of finding fellow queer leftist WWI scholars anywhere near my age. BUT!! I suddenly remembered I have a tumblr so this is my last resort. would you like to live deliciously and by deliciously I mean do you want to make a discord server and scream about research and historiography and sad gay poets
I'm not joking. If this sounds fun to you (or if this discord server somehow miraculously already exists and you'd be willing to let me join it) pls message me. my crops are dying

Christmas, 1917. It was a time of dark, dark despair. [...] But here at 1501 Larkspur Lane for a pair of star-crossed lovers tragedy came not from war or pestilence – not by the boot heel or the bombardier – but by their own innocent hand.
6.06 "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas"
writ. & dir. Chris Carter — aired 25 years ago today

This isn't on the books ask meme, but any nonfiction books you've loved recently or general recommendations?
ooh, ofc! here's a couple really good ones i've read in the last couple of months:
None of the Above: Reflections on Life Beyond the Binary by Travis Alabanza - memoir abt the author's experiences as a transfem nonbinary person of colour, rly honest and gut-wrenching
The Hundred Years' War on Palestine: A History of Settler-Colonial Conquest and Resistance, 1917-2017 by Rashid Khalidi - honestly essential reading
Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement by Angela Y. Davis - brilliant collection of essays/interviews abt activism
Off-Earth: Ethical Questions and Quandaries for Living in Outer Space by Erika Nesvold - kinda dry, but provides a really good pragmatic & intersectional perspective on the subject of space settlement and the practical & ethical issues the space industry tends to ignore
A City on Mars: Can we settle space, should we settle space, and have we really thought this through? by Zach and Kelly Weinersmith - more or less on the same subject matter, but with a focus on Mars; less academic, more light-hearted and approachable in tone (personally I liked Nesvold's book more, but i think this one would be more fun for the average person)
The Little Book of Aliens by Adam Frank - very fun, readable and decently thorough look at the Fermi Paradox and the search for extraterrestrial life

Prigozhin’s Rebellion, Putin’s Fate, and Russia’s Future: A Conversation With Stephen Kotkin
I have long been calling the Putin regime “hollow yet still strong.” It remained, and remains, viable as long as there is no political alternative. Now, we might see just how hollow the regime is. Putin has unwittingly launched a stress test of his own regime. He had already lost his mystique with the bungling of the aggression against Ukraine. Mystique, once lost, is near impossible to regain. The old cliché about the emperor and clothes. He still possesses enormous power, rooted in structures he built around himself, such as his Praetorian Guard, and those he unbuilt—his razing of the landscape of political possibilities besides himself, and severe repression to demobilize the populace.
There is one thing that all dictators properly fear: an alternative. And Putin, shockingly, after years and years of indefatigably suppressing alternatives, of promoting nonentities to his inner circle to ensure no one could threaten him, has allowed one to take shape. Pinch me.
Authoritarian regimes build up formidable military and security services, but these are purposely divided against themselves by the leader, to control them, to make them dependent on him. The leader deliberately gives them overlapping jurisdictions, heightens their inherent rivalries at every turn, and sits back and watches, usually with glee. But in this case, Putin has conjured up his own nemesis.
I’ve been saying for some time that the way to get Putin’s attention, to destabilize his regime, was to identify and recruit a defector from the inside, a Russian nationalist, a person who appeals to Putin’s base, but one who recognized the separate existence of a Ukrainian nation and state. Preferably a defector in uniform. And Putin has gifted us a candidate.
[...] No matter how Putin responds, it seems like he’s at risk of losing his grasp.
[...] This could peter out quickly. Putin is a survivor. A sense that the Russian state is at risk could rally the various rivalrous factions around him.
Here’s the bottom line: even if it is now snuffed out, an alternative was allowed to arise. All this unfolded in real time, on video, over months and months. Putin did not intervene earlier and allowed things to get to this point. Stunning. Either he has descended into utter incompetence or he has less operational control than his media machine has been letting on. Or both. I expected him to be better at Authoritarianism 101. I expected him to understand this was the one threat in real time. I expected him to end the games, end the pitting of rivals against each other to control them, because it had become dangerous to him personally. I overestimated him. I would not want to make the opposite mistake and underestimate him now, though.
What is the right historical parallel here?
I already mentioned 1917, because Putin himself evoked it and not the Soviet implosion of 1991, which he lived through and has reflected on often. But the remarkable aspect for me is not just the eerie sense of the distant past that appears so close, yet again, but the tech and media revolution. I look at that Ukrainian TV production company running this war, I look at the production of the January 6 hearings here in the United States—Liz Cheney’s hearings were run by a TV producer, with powerful effect—and I think, “This is how you do national security most effectively now: with smartphones, videos, memes.” All those written and emailed policy briefs, all those meetings of principals and deputies form the sprawling national security bureaucracies, all that spying and cloak and dagger—and, boom: Telegram and a pair of thumbs.
[...] Behind the scenes, of course, it’s 24/7 very close monitoring of everything and anything, and intense consultation. Twelve hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, of nail biting. But after all the Sturm und Drang, we could be right back where we started: Putin in power in Moscow and Ukraine facing a counteroffensive that will be very difficult to pull off.

one of the most interesting things of separation by country for me is that every country has The Tragedy That Struck The Nation and then some countries just have shitshow after shitshow back to back to back that they're just numb to the issue at hand
I was suddenly made aware of this a few minutes ago as I watched an American make a joke about a specific issue to their country's education system only to watch on as several Australians promptly shat themself in shock that an American would make that joke.
it brought me back to a previous meme about how Europeans would probably find a landmine in the wild and fuck with it. like that's their thing now. It is what it is.
this is one of the most fascinating aspects of culture for me, honestly. the amount of times I've got horrified/concerned looks because I've cracked a joke about getting shot at, or bombs, or bomb scares, or punishment beatings/shootings, or police/soldier brutality, or any of the horrors that come from your standard civil war (usually casual asides about how I can never be sure if my neighbours want me dead or not!)... like I get it. I do understand that these are not subjects often joked about, but it's literally how I grew up and I am so used to it that I do just crack jokes -- there's no other way to talk about most of my time growing up without them, or everything gets dark and depressing fast.
I even chuckle at people in London or France or wherever finding unexploded shit from the World Wars. like oh yours is from the 1940s? oh, 1917? get modern. when I was 12 I found a bomb in my local supermarket that had probably been made earlier that week. it had nails and ball bearings taped to it and I just stood there like "that is not bread" before going to tell security. the bomb squad showed up as the store manager was explaining to the crowd evacuated from the store that no, you do not get your shopping free now, you must return and purchase your goods. people were more outraged over this than the bomb that had just almost wiped out a 12-year-old and the handful of people in the aisle with him.
